Hello again,

Please, find attached an example of a piping system. Considering water hammer effect because the valve at node 60.
I want to analize in a static model the pressure effect in my piping system. I consider that the wave return to the pipe and I have to introduce a force in each change of direction. I introduce the force "F" till no more restraint in the same dirección (the force F at node 50 is compensated by the restraint Rx at node 35, the force F at node 40 is compensated by the restraint Ry at node 35 and the force F at node 30 is compensated by the restraint Rz at node 35).

Do you think that is it a correct way to analize the water hammer in a static analysis?


Thanks in advance.
